I'd take a nice afternoon and drive down there before ordering from someplace online. Looks like they're set up for selling from the front porch for now. http://www.templetonfarm.com/php/farmstore.php Thanks! I also found a place just over the border in NH. They were closed today when we went by, but their website looked like they carry everything that I'm looking for. They raise most of it themselves and buy from other local farms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lip around the edge keeps the wife from yelling at me from dripping and spilling. Same here. Use the heavy sheet pans and heavy duty foil from Gordons food service. Meat goes on the grill, foil in the garbage, pan is ready for the final product. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After using heavy duty foil the regular stuff just won’t do...thanks for the suggestion BTW...simple and effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTIE KATZ Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I was buying both from Gordons, finally got smart and now just buy the HD. 18" x 1000' I think, heavy box when it is new. Lasts about 4 months. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 Boneless country style ribs are up to 152° after an hour on low smoke (170°), and another hour on high smoke (220°) . From what I read these modes sacrifice holding a consistent temps for more smoke. So far so good with the Camp Chef. It seems to do everything that I wanted it to. The hot grill area created by sliding the heat deflector does a good job in the middle of the grill. It would be hard to cook several full size steaks at the same time due to the smaller fire area compared to a gas grill that covers most of the grates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for inexpensive welding blanket to throw on top of the smoker. You will hold heat better in low ambient conditions. Bhen makes fun of my electric smoker. It’s 100% insulated,similar to a refrigerator. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
